Collects metrics from reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (Rrbs) data.
This tool uses reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (Rrbs) data to determine cytosine methylation status across all reads of a genomic DNA sequence. For a primer on bisulfite sequencing and cytosine methylation, please see the corresponding GATK Dictionary entry.
Briefly, bisulfite reduction converts un-methylated cytosine (C) to uracil (U) bases. Methylated sites are not converted because they are resistant to bisulfite reduction. Subsequent to PCR amplification of the reaction products, bisulfite reduction manifests as [C -> T (+ strand) or G -> A (- strand)] base conversions. Thus, conversion rates can be calculated from the reads as follows: [CR = converted/(converted + unconverted)]. Since methylated cytosines are protected against Rrbs-mediated conversion, the methylation rate (MR) is as follows:[MR = unconverted/(converted + unconverted) = (1 - CR)].
The CpG CollectRrbsMetrics tool outputs three files including summary and detail metrics tables as well as a PDF file containing four graphs. These graphs are derived from the summary table and include a comparison of conversion rates for both CpG and non-CpG sites, the distribution of total numbers of CpG sites as a function of the CpG conversion rates, the distribution of CpG sites by the level of read coverage (depth), and the numbers of reads discarded resulting from either exceeding the mismatch rate or size (too short). The detailed metrics table includes the coordinates of all of the CpG sites for the experiment as well as the conversion rates observed for each site.
Usage example:
java -jar picard.jar CollectRrbsMetrics \
R=reference_sequence.fasta \
I=input.bam \
M=basename_for_metrics_files
Please see the CollectRrbsMetrics definitions for a complete description of both the detail and summary metrics produced by this tool.

Overview
Calculates and reports QC metrics for RRBS data based on the methylation status at individual C/G bases as well as CpG sites across all reads in the input BAM/SAM file.CollectRrbsMetrics (Picard) specific arguments
This table summarizes the command-line arguments that are specific to this tool. For more details on each argument, see the list further down below the table or click on an argument name to jump directly to that entry in the list.
Argument name(s) | Default value | Summary | |

null | The BAM or SAM file containing aligned reads. Must be coordinate sorted | |
--METRICS_FILE_PREFIX -M |
null | Base name for output files | |

null | The reference sequence fasta file | |
Optional Tool Arguments | |||
--arguments_file |
[] | read one or more arguments files and add them to the command line | |
--ASSUME_SORTED -AS |
false | If true, assume that the input file is coordinate sorted even if the header says otherwise. | |

20 | Threshold for base quality of a C base before it is considered | |
--help -h |
false | display the help message | |
--MAX_MISMATCH_RATE |
0.1 | Maximum percentage of mismatches in a read for it to be considered, with a range of 0-1 | |
--METRIC_ACCUMULATION_LEVEL -LEVEL |
[ALL_READS] | The level(s) at which to accumulate metrics. | |

false | display the version number for this tool | |
Optional Common Arguments | |||
--COMPRESSION_LEVEL |

client_secrets.json | Google Genomics API client_secrets.json file path. | |
--MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM |
500000 | When writing files that need to be sorted, this will specify the number of records stored in RAM before spilling to disk. Increasing this number reduces the number of file handles needed to sort the file, and increases the amount of RAM needed. | |

false | Use the JDK Inflater instead of the Intel Inflater for reading compressed input | |
--VALIDATION_STRINGENCY |
STRICT | Validation stringency for all SAM files read by this program. Setting stringency to SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded. | |
